Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who enjoys writing poetry and spoken word performances, you have a wonderful opportunity to give him a gift that nurtures his passion and encourages his creative expression. Here are some meaningful and personal gift ideas that could inspire and support his endeavors:

1. Poetry collection: A collection of poetry by renowned poets or an anthology that focuses on a specific theme could serve as a great source of inspiration for your son. Additionally, you could consider collecting his favorite poems and compiling them into a personalized poetry anthology.

2. Writing workshop or class: Enroll your son in a writing workshop or class to enhance his skills and provide him with opportunities to learn from experienced poets and writers. This practical gift will allow him to improve his craft and connect with a community of like-minded individuals.

3. Spoken word CD or DVD: If your son admires specific spoken word artists, consider gifting him a CD or DVD of their performances. This will not only expose him to different styles and techniques but also inspire him to explore new avenues in his own work.

4. Writing tools and stationery: Every writer loves quality writing tools and stationery. Consider giving him a beautiful notebook or journal dedicated to his poetry. You could also include a set of premium pens or pencils, providing him with the satisfaction of writing with the best tools.

5. Poetry workshops or festivals: Research local poetry workshops or festivals that your son can attend. This will give him the chance to listen to renowned poets, participate in open mic sessions, and network with other poets. It is an excellent opportunity for him to gain exposure and become a part of the poetry community.

6. Poetry slam tickets: If there are any poetry slams or spoken word events happening in your area, surprise him with tickets to attend. These events are not only thrilling but also offer a platform for poets and performers to share their work and be inspired.

7. Personalized gifts: Consider personalized gifts to show your support and appreciation for your son's passion. Get a piece of jewelry engraved with a meaningful quote or phrase from his favorite poem. Alternatively, create a custom-made writing corner or workspace with personalized items such as a desk plate, bookends, or a custom-made poetry mug.

8. Online course or subscription: There are plenty of online platforms that offer poetry courses, writing prompts, and workshops tailored to different skill levels and interests. Gifting him a subscription to one of these platforms or enrolling him in an online course would give him access to a wealth of resources and guidance that he can explore at his own pace.

Remember, the most important aspect of any gift is the thought and effort behind it. By selecting a gift that aligns with your son's passion for poetry and spoken word, you will not only show your support but also encourage him to continue pursuing his creative dreams.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
